A MONGREL AIR MOTOR. ‘She New Compressed Air Car Has Reached Washingto: The new air motor that is to be run over the Eckington railroad arrived yesterday, and was at once put on a trial run, it was not an unqualified success. It was first charged at the power house in Eck- ington and then taken up the read to the north, where there is little or no habita- tion, and the doings of the car could be practically free from all observation. ‘he car, it is stated, ran well enough for a distance and then stranded on the hill that leads to the Cathole University gate. it refused to make the trip to Brookland, and had to be towed back to the power house by one of the trolley cars. This new motor is described by one who has seen it to be a sort of compromise be- tween the Hoadley motor, such as has been in use here for the past three months, and the Hardie motor, which has been undergo- ing tests in New York. It carries twenty- eight “bottles” of air cylinders instead ot thirty-six, the number forming the equip- ment of the Hoadley. It has some differ- ences in mechanism, and has in place of the- fire pot to heat the air as it is used a stor- age boiler filled with super-heated water. This ts one of the distinctive features of the Hardie car. The new motor is accommodated by jBroadway car body. ——— The New Steamer Ericsson. The large and handsome passenger and freight steamer Ericsson, constructing for the Baltimore and Philadelphia Steamboat Company (Ericsson line), was successfully launched Saturday at the shipyard of Neafie & Levy, Philadelphia.

The Ericsson 1s 209 feet long, 24 feet wide and has a deptn of 10 feet 6 inches. She will be handsomely fitted up. —_——.—_—_ ‘The “American Ambassador.” Wm. E. Curtis in Chicago Record. Col. Hay has been criticised because he calls himself the “American ambassador,” and refers to the United States embassy as “the American embassy,” as if there were no other nation on this continent. It is suggested that such an assumption is of- fensive to the republics of Central and South America. On the conirary, the people of those countries are in the habit of using the same term. Citizens of the United States are known as Americans all over the world. Even in Mexico it is the common phrase in the newspapers and in conversation and often in official docu- ments. In South America it is common for the officials of the government to ad- dress communications to “the American minister,” and Col. Hay has only adopt- ed a conventional form of speech. SS Fifty-Nine Stories. From the New York Press. Architect George Sage is preparing plans for a fifty-nine-story office and studio build- ing to be erected in the central part «f the city. The estimated cost of the building Will be from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000, which will be furnished by a syndicate of English- men who want to own the highest building in the world.

Street Improvement: Surveyors were at work yesterday on lower 37th street between Prospect avenue and P street marking out the lines for what were given out as future improve- ments for the thoroughfare. This news Was greeted with much pleasure by the residents of the street, who at last see some chance of having the highway placed in good enough condition to be used for traffic. The work of improving the alley opening into the south side of Dumbarton avenue between 31st and 32d streets, which was begun several weeks ago by the District government, has been stoy The aliey is left in a very bad condition, much worse than it ever was, and considerable indig- nation is expressed over the matter by the property owners interested. It is claimed that some of the property extends over the alley line, hence the delay. Lawn Fete. The musicale and lawn fete given last evening at Mount Alto, the pretty home of Mrs. B. F.
